withdrawal Of Lands.

by the revocation Of railroad indemnity
Withdrawals about twenty five million acres
Of land will be restored to the public
domain. BY the operation Of the allot-
ment in severalty law Of the last Congress
about one hundred and twenty millions Of
acres more will be added +; and the next
Congress will be asked to pass bills forfeit
ing the land grants covering the unfinished
parts Of sixteen roads and amounting to
about nine million acres. These granted
lands can only be forfeited by act Of Con.
gress, but public sentiment 80 strongly
supports the land policy of the administra.
tion that it is probable they will reclaim
these lands.
Thus in a very short time an aggregate
Of about $4,000, 900 of acres will be re.
stored to public settlement, which will pro.
vide plenty Of elbow room for years to come.
This is one reason why the Independent
New York Herald comes out 50 strongly
in favor Of the continuation in power OF
the pre- 'ent splendid Democratic admins
tration.

The Fraud On the Ballet.

Referring to the brazen fraud on the
hallotbox in the Sixth ward, the Ian.
caster Inquirer says: "No political con-
vention has right to receive and endorse q
return that b shown to be false. 1t is a
wrong to the public and disgrace to the
party that should be wiped out by prompt
reparation." And, concluding an article
on the same subject, that paper declares ::
Every possible effort should he made to
unearth this great wrong"
The INTELLIGENCER is rejoiced at
having the Inq,Irer as a coadjutor in un.
earthing the election frauds adverted to.
There Is no nonsense about that journals &
Republicanism, and the vigorous manner
in which 1t takes hold of this flagrant Re-
publican offense shows 1t to be in dead
earnest.
Prosecution can now no longer be
averted. The calcium light Of investiga.
ton will be turned upon the dark places in
the Sixth ward, and the stern punishment
Of the law will be meted out to the guilty.

The States Charity.

Governor Beaver is said to be leisurely
considering how he may reduce the sum of
the Legislatures appropriations to figure
within the compass Of the state revenues.
To keep up the payments on account of
the state debt, 1t appears to be necessary to
cut away some millions of the appropria-
tions. OF course, it will not do for the
governor to let the state debt stand undi-
minished during his administration, and
show worse record for it in this regard
than that made by Governor Pattson.
Governor Beaver is said to desire to have
the debt all paid off before he retires from
Office. - = S1Eee and should be.
Z. ~ eo Independently Of this question
eE6 reduction Of the state debt, the gov
ernor may proHtably consider whether
many Of the appropriations to charitable
uses are properly made by the state. These
appropriations amount to millions, and bid
fair to amount to hundreds Of millions if
they 60 on unchecked. They are bounded
only by the ability of the state to collect
the revenue to pay them; and the legisla.
ture never seems to stop to consider
whether there may not be an undue bur-
then Of taxation laid upon the people for
charity's sake; nor does it even take care
that the charities it fosters are equally dis.
tributed over the state, like the taxes.
We believe in an abundant charity by the
state, exercised in taking care of those un-
able to care for themselves. But We also
believe that the states hand Of charity
should be extended equally and evenly to
every section of the state, and should be
equally convenient and accessible to all
herpeOple.
To secure this end, 1t seems to us to be
necessary that the money devoted by the
state to charity should be generally ex.
pended by its own officers and in its own
institutions, which should he established
70 as to be equally convenient to all its
people. The state should take care of all
the poor but it is not easy to show where.
fore it should care for those who are able
to care for themselves.
And 1t is needful that the charity which
1t distributes should be dispensed by its
own hand. 1t is not fitting that the public
money should be appropriated to the use
Of privately managed institutions, as is
now 30 freely done. If there was no other
objection to this practice sufficient
one would be found in the un-
even distribution over the state of
the states charity thus scattered.
And it isnot proper that the beneficiaries of
the states bounty should be selected by
unofficial hands. There should be a sys-
tematic distribution of the money, and a
responsibility for its distribution imposed
upon official hands. II the governor should
Determine to veto all the appropriations to
privately managed institutions Of charity,
We believe that he would be acting strictly
In accordance with his duty.

THE stS,h Ward Fraud.

From the Lancaster Inquirer.
On Sunday morning the returns OF the
vote for prothonotary In all the wards Of Ian
caster city were reported, with the exception
OF the Sixth (the ward In which Candidate
Hartman resides), aud It was found that
John w. Men'zsr. had msjority In the city
outside OF that ward OF l5s votes. Later In
the day II was said that Hartman had re-.
ceived SIS votes and Mentzsr 81 In that ward
An investigation resulted In li2 citizens,
among them many Of the best known
residents OF the ward, coming forward aud
swearing that they had cas-. their votes for
Mentzsr.
The matter WAS laid before the investisa.
ting committee aud they reported to the re-.
turn Judges IN accordance with the above
facts, but that body, after hearing the report,
at once proceeded to receive the Sixth ward
return rs sent in, in the face OF the fact that
1t was proved fraud! wehave never known
OF the action OF any public body 30 absolutely
indefensible as this. The proper thing for
the convention to have done was to throw
out this fraudulent return altogether, or, II
such action WAS not permissible under the
rules, to have thrown it out "to the extent OF
the fraud" This would have been In accord
with . literal Interpretation OF the rules, and
would have evinced disposition to make
right to some extent Q manifest wrong. In
mony to admit the false return, was to en-
dorse what the boafd knew, and what every.
body knew, was fraud.
L. The Sixth ward return was Q manifes,
i fraud on its fare. 1t IL true 1t altered no re
suits except In the case of Jacob s. Smith,
candidate FOR prison keeper. His opponent
;. W. Snirk, received there 535 votes tC
Smiths 80, thereby defeating the latter BY
bi votes, though Smith has already obtained
the silidavi,s OF q sufficient number OF citi-
zens TO show that he received votes enough
in the ward to nominate him II properly re-
turned.
1t Is not alone the candidates who are In.
terested in this matter. 1t Is the right OF
every citizen to have his vote ounted for the
person whom 1t is cast, and, whether or moi
results are affected, no political convention
has 3 right to receive aud endorse q return
that Is shown TO be false. 1t Is . wrong tC
the public and a disgrace to the party thai
should be wiped out by prompt reparation.
The Sixth ward il manifest fraud and
proved to be such by sworn testimony
someoody Is guilty; who Is II. The pub
lie, and especially the voters OF the ward
have right to know. 1t Is not necessary 4
suppose that all the officers OF the election Or,
guilty; quite probably they are not Bu
some one IN that board IL guilty and know
| all about the tran saction whereby tais wron,
was committed against the people Of Lancas
ter county. Every possible effort should b,
made to unearth this test wrong.

WITH today the INTELLIGENCER closes
the series OF school board officials, which for
months past have been a prominent feature
of the Saturday issue Of this journal. A high
compliment has been paid to them by the

board. The sketches contained . great deal
OF historical matter concerning prominent
figures in Lancaster life for the past titty
years aud many Of the important facts there
in given would have otherwise faded into
oblivion had 1t not been for the INTELLIGEN-

THE general assembly OF the Southern
Presbyterian church, now in session In St
Louis is torn over dead issuea They are
fighting the war over again with very bitter
words, but it is gratifying to find that fully
two thirds OF the Southern Presbyt tertaus
favor union with the Northern church, and
that the leaders of this msj ority are men who
fought with the South. The minority are
particularly bitter In their allusions to the
color line, and DR.. Preston vehemently de-
cisred his determination to adhere to the
principles for which Southern youths sacr;-
feed their lives.
DIR. Bryson, of the Union party, described
his own services in the field. He had ex.
perienced 1t all, but he was now willing to
shake his Northern brothers hand. He
answered every argument put forth, and
explained that 1t was the far South, the
rejuvenated Dixie that was appealing for
strongest in argument as we'll as In numbers;
and time, as IL heals the wounds OF the war,
will wear out the stubborn opposition OF the
other faction. 1t Is also said that the
Southern church differs from the Northern
In the Interpretation OF common standards
and that union would provoke argument and
discussion. But as the differences seem to
be outgrowths of the war period, the church
should drop this discussion entirely and try
to do its share in burying dead issues. II
any Of the latter are yet alive, the attem pt
